Ok, well if you're interested in discussing direct experience, then why are you dismissing my and others direct experience? Because it doesn't conform to your bias?

You don't believe what? That I did ecstacy every weekend (just like millions of other young people in the UK between 1985 and well into the 2000's?) Not one issue reported apart from Lea Bet's, who actually died from drinking too much water. You're right. You need to take more each time. I ended up taking ten pills one night. My memory is fine. Do I look like someone who's brain damaged? Yes, literally. I did what everyone else did (millions of us) every weekend. The rave scene was not built on alcohol. It was built on ecstacy. An underground music scene is a weekly event. Do some research on YouTube if you don't think it's possible to do ecstacy every week for years on end. I took ten e's one night on my 4th year. I actually stopped going out because everyone was too much into cocaine, and that wasn't my thing. But I have friends now who went out for years after I left the scene. So what you're saying is just not true. Just because you have some studies, doesn't mean that you can prove cause and effect. Cause and effect to date has never been established. Yes, celery can cause some people to die of anaphylaxis. But that doesn't render celery itself a problem. There is no evidence that MDMA is harmful at all.

If anyone feels that they want to discuss this paper with me , you're welcome to initiate a discussion https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0955395918302846

@Flowerfaeiry Ive personally had no issues with MDMA. 4 years, every weekend. No issues at all, and I've never met a person who has developed an issue with MDMA. To make the statement that MDMA has a cause and effect relationship to the things you mentioned, you need to prove it by satisfying all of the Bradford hill criteria Post some links and we can discuss them

@Kiko Maybe you're demonizing the aggressive part of you too much? You should recognize your negativity and allow it to be. But in order to really do that you have to not identify with it. You need to see it as one part of the dualistic mind and just observe it without attachment. Without judgement. Just let yourself be as you are in each and every moment and just be in the moment without drifting off too many times. This way you will start to heal your dark side and it won't be so explosive and the regret won't be so severe. Eventually you will gain mastery and balance and you won't have pent up emotions that leak out when you're challenged. Give yourself some slack
